An armed siege and occupation are armed conflicts.

Just because there wasn't active fighting at a time does not change the fact that at least one side established its position by force. To take the example of Crimea. Just because Russia moved in to occupy it quickly and there was little fighting, it is still an armed conflict. If Russia wouldn't roam Crimea with its army, it wouldn't hold control of it. The same is true for the siege of Gaza that Israel upheld before reinvading it.
